New Solar Installation Proposal
A premium solar system designed around your home, your energy goals, and long-term utility savings.
Proposed Solar Layout
Proposed solar panel placement shown for visual reference only. Final layout may vary based on site survey, engineering, permitting, AHJ, utility, roof conditions, equipment availability, and installation requirements.
System Breakdown
These estimates are not deducted from the system total. Eligibility, tax liability, filing status, prior claims, cost basis, and approval rules apply. Customer should review with a CPA or tax professional.

If you're financing through a lender, your lender disburses these payments to Bright at each milestone — you don't write checks. Cash customers follow the schedule directly.
Estimated Savings
Based on your estimated annual production, here's what your solar system could save you over time. Two projections are shown — one using today's utility rates, and one factoring in a typical 2% annual utility rate increase. Both account for solar panel degradation of 0.5% per year and use a starting rate of $0.42 / kWh.
* These are estimates, not guarantees. The green figures use today's flat $0.42 / kWh rate and represent your savings if utility rates never change. The smaller light-blue figures (marked with an asterisk) project what your savings could be if utility rates increase by 2% per year — historically, NY utility rates have risen on average, but future rates are not guaranteed. Actual savings depend on your household usage, weather, shading, system performance, future utility rate decisions by your provider and the New York Public Service Commission, and other factors outside Bright's control. Per your signed agreement, Bright Home Solutions does not guarantee savings or production. See the Generation System Disclosure Form for full details.
Utility Bill Forecast
Based on the electricity usage entered from your power bill, this section estimates what you could spend on utility power over time if you did not add solar. This is shown for planning purposes only and is not a guaranteed bill, savings, offset, or utility-rate projection.
Based on the usage and utility rate entered from the customer's power bill.
* These figures are estimates, not guarantees. Actual utility costs depend on future usage, weather, occupancy changes, rate structures, interconnection rules, utility tariff changes, net metering policies, taxes, fees, system performance, shading, and other factors outside Bright's control. Bright Home Solutions does not guarantee utility bills, savings, production, or offset.
NYC Property Tax Abatement
New York City currently offers a Solar and Electric Storage System Property Tax Abatement for certain eligible solar PV and battery storage projects. Where applicable, Bright and/or its installation partner will help coordinate the project paperwork connected to the solar permit, DOB filing, and final cost affidavit.
Potentially applied over four years after DOB approval.
Up to 30% of eligible solar PV and/or battery storage installation costs, capped at $250,000 total and generally applied over four years.
Expanded program applies to qualifying projects placed in service after Jan. 1, 2024 and before Jan. 1, 2035. March 15 filing deadlines may affect when the benefit begins.
Properties receiving certain other tax benefits, paying PILOTs, or already exempt from all property taxes may be ineligible.
Eligible cost basis may exclude finance charges and costs paid using federal, state, or local grants such as NY-SUN.
New York State Solar Credit
New York State also offers a Solar Energy System Equipment Credit for eligible residential solar projects. This section is general education only. Tax credit eligibility can depend on the taxpayer, the residence, prior solar-credit claims, how costs are paid, filing status, occupancy, and documentation. Bright does not guarantee eligibility, tax treatment, timing, or credit amount. Customers should speak with a CPA or tax professional before relying on any credit. Terms and conditions apply.
Illustrative estimate only: generally calculated as 25% of qualified expenditures, capped at $5,000, subject to customer-specific tax rules.
Generally 25% of qualified solar energy system equipment expenditures, capped at $5,000, subject to tax law limits and the customer's facts.
The system must be installed and used at the customer's principal residence in New York State. Summer or vacation homes generally do not qualify.
The credit is nonrefundable, but unused credit may be carried forward for up to five years if the credit exceeds tax due.
Prior use of the $5,000 cap, equipment connected to a single net meter, or a prior solar project at the same residence may limit or eliminate additional credit.
Where more than one taxpayer occupies the principal residence, credit may need to be prorated by each taxpayer's eligible expenditures unless a married couple files jointly.
Eligible expenditures from a cooperative housing corporation or condominium may be allocated to individual unit owners when properly documented.
No tax advice or guarantee. Owner/tenant, mother/daughter, co-op/condo, married filing separately, and other multi-taxpayer situations require proper CPA review and documentation. Bright does not structure tax positions and does not guarantee that any claimed credit will be accepted by New York State.
